As the last Saturday in September approaches, many football supporters must make a choice between two teams, and ask themselves the question, 'who do I like more?', or it may even come down to, 'who do I hate the least?'.

Dale from Ballarat says she'll be barracking for the Dockers.

"Because they haven't won one and I'm not a big fan of Hawthorn."

Although she thinks they probably don't have much of a chance of beating the Hawks.

Maddie from New Gisborne also selected Freo but her hopes are higher.

"I think they do stand a chance because they beat Sydney last week and Sydney was the final winner last year."

Dave from Canterbury, on the other hand, will be cheering for the Hawks.

"I just think that Fremantle play a bit dirty and I don't want to see them win until they clean up their game a bit."

He's predicting a close match but tips the Hawks to win.

Archie Stanners of Fremantle - decked out in a polo shirt with the Dockers' emblem - is one of the lucky ones. His team has made it into the Grand Final.

He and his wife Margaret will be heading along to the match - they bought tickets earlier in the year that guaranteed them seats - but Mr Stanners says he didn't think they'd make it this far.

"Being a Fremantle supporter we're always hopeful but never really confident. But now, I reckon confidence is fairly high for Saturday."

He says it feel "terrific" to finally be a part of Grand Final week celebrations.

"We've been members for 16 years, but we've really come of age now."

Mr Stanners says Fremantle has "gone mad" with pre-match excitement.

"The pubs ran out of beer, they went dry. And I've never seen so many people with face painting and all that type of thing.

"We've always played second string to the West Coast Eagles, but now we're the top doggies this year and we're enjoying it."
